On March the 12th the Emirates Arthritis Foundation will be hosting the 3rd Annual 5K Walkathon at Dubai Festival City. All the proceeds will go to the Emirates Arthritis Treatment fund.  With your support we can help make a difference in people’s life through education, awareness, and supporting patients in the UAE with their expensive medication (as much as 70,000AED per year/ per patient).

The Foundation needs help in many ways, they need help in getting the word out about the event, they need runners/walkers, they need volunteers to help on the day of the event, and craft people to sell items at the craft fair taking place at Dubai Festival City. If you are a company that can help with t-shirts, water for the runner/walkers, or anything that you can think of that will help make the day special, please do.

Runners/Walkers the foundation needs you to help to get people to sponsor you for the walk. The target for this year is for each runner/walker to collect 5,000AED.  If you can collect donations of 5,000AED or more you will receive a 100AED Mall voucher. Please download the collection sheet and get busy collecting.

Arthritis affects 1 in 5 people worldwide. The average age of Arthritis sufferer is 43 years old.  It is not just about old people but young people including children, suffer can suffer from this debilitating disease.  Not only affecting the joints, but skin, eyes, lungs and hearts.

We lost 2 children to Arthritis last year.  We hope in 2010 we can make a difference through education, awareness and supporting patients in the UAE with their expensive medication (as much as 70,000 AED per year/per patient).

We can only do this though with your support. Therefore we would like to set a target of 5000 AED per participant.  Please ask your friends, families and colleagues to help a fantastic cause.
